		Years afterwards Baekeland said of those earlier workers, "They should have succeeded, but they wouldn't." What he did not say was that it was only after five years of the most intensive effort, and after many failures and disappointments, that he himself succeeded.
		Nevertheless, by intelligent organization and by careful selection of associates, Baekeland was able to keep free enough from routine and business entanglements so that he could maintain his interest in research, and could still devote some time to it, as well as to the numerous scientific, patriotic, and educational calls which were made upon him.
